If the Swedes don't know about any sexual relationship to mask an extraordinary rendition request from the Americans, there's no reason to look in the Ecuadorian embassy.

Have they checked whether any swedish women had consensual sex with him?

The other obvious place to look is Gitmo.

I'd check the morgue. Depending on what he knows about the Wikileaks/Russia relationship, Putin and his thugs may have more than a passing interest in "silencing" this consultant.
Of course, he could be in gitmo. Now that the US government has become completely lawless as well, it's a crap shoot which government poses the bigger risk to these people. One thing is clear, whichever side wins in this cyberwar, the transparency and openness that wikileaks pretended to represent will certainly lose.

Ironically, maybe he just wants people to respect his privacy?

My feelings as well, he's a "privacy expert", so one would hope he's pretty good at maintaining his privacy.

maybe the waves of "migrants" and "refugees" got him?

Norway is already 3% moslem [cia.gov] but it is not evenly spread out. He is toast if he wandered into an occupied valley. There are even very bad colonies inside the major cities [city-journal.org] but those are safer than the valleys.

No, some nationalities believe revenge is a dish best served cold. Check if he pissed off any Hungarians four or five years ago.

On August 30th, he's phone was turned on in the vicinity of Vikeså, around 50 kilometers south of Stavanger. The phone was turned on for 20 minutes. After that, the SIM card was removed and a German SIM card was put into the phone. The Norwegian police is currently trying to track the history of that SIM card. [nltimes.nl]
